In many ways the Clubman is the Spirit of Irish Rallying. With the Spirit of Christmas in mind we decided to marry these two elements together!

Emmet Cleary from Wexford captured the imagination at the start ramp in Wexford a few months back and we thought what better man to give us an insight into the story of a clubman than him!

Sit back, relax and enjoy the story of one of Rallying's really entertaining personalities!

Happy Christmas to all our viewers and listeners!

In this episode we look back at the Killarney Historics Rally. We also reflect on the 2022 Forestry Championship giving a full rundown on the class winners, while The Billy Coleman Award Winner has been announced!

In 2012, Irish Rallying lost one of its shining lights.

Rory Galligan was just 39 years old when he succumbed to Motor Neurone Disease.

In his short life he achieved a massive amount, winning the inaugural Billy Coleman Award which provided a platform to go on and win the Peugeot 106 Super Cup a year later.

His undoubted talent saw him with the Mitsubishi Evo challenge in 2004 which secured him his second works drive having done so already with Peugeot in 2002.

Here we discover Rory Galligan the Person and Rory Galligan the driver.
